When downloading and installing our software, you will be presented with 3 options:

A. Download Now

Benefits...

Delivers a complete standalone installation package with up to 50% compression and automatic download resumption after connection interruptions.

What Happens...

A small download manager is first installed and enables an optimized download of the complete software installation package. Once the installation package has downloaded you can begin the software installation on this or other computers without further connection to the internet.

Recommended for...

Creating deployments, installing Autodesk products on a different computer, or at a different time

B. Install Now

Very similar to Download Now but you will not have any deployment options. It is typically a Standalone installation of the software.

C. Browser Download

Benefits...

Works without installing additional software. As compared to other methods, in-browser downloads are less efficient, and less reliable especially when saving large files. Browsers cannot take advantage of superior compression (smaller file sizes) and automatic download resumption abilities built into Download Now and Install Now.

What Happens...

The built-in file save mechanism of your web browser is used to deliver a complete stand-alone installation package. Once the package has downloaded, you must extract it, then begin the software installation on this or other computers.
